John and Tamar Adler: Sibling Chefs' Big Dinner Party Secrets
Tamar Adler and her brother, John Adler, used to hate cooking together. But the talented duo's epic fights have given way to lighthearted ribbing and smart lessons about cooking for a crowd.
For years, my younger brother, John, and I fought in the kitchen. At its worst, when we both cooked for a living, the only way to avoid all-out warfare at home was to stick to a rule: Either he cooked or I did.
Three years ago, that all changed. I had just moved back to New York after cooking at Berkeley's Chez Panisse, and he had left Thomas Keller's Per Se to co-run the kitchen at Franny's, a wonderful Italian restaurant in Brooklyn. We've never known exactly why we made peace then. Our best explanation is that ugly word—at which I still roll my eyes in contempt—maturity.
When we reached our cease-fire and the smoke cleared, we found something miraculous: While working across the country from each other, we had developed cooking styles that matched—unfussy but festive, dependent on making the most of each ingredient, uncompromisingly efficient.
Ever since, cooking together has been easier than cooking alone, and we look for any excuse to do it. All it takes is the arrival of a season, or certain apples at the market, for a phone call or email to arrive: "Adler, Macoun party with bourbon and cider?!" Or: "T, the first chanterelles! Party on my roof?" Soon, we're feeding a crew of chefs, musicians and artists, toasting nothing but apples, or mushrooms, or a change in the weather.
That's how we ended up throwing a winter party at fashion designer Lela Rose's Tribeca apartment, which she designed for her love of entertaining (a table running the length of the space seats 68). I met Lela two summers ago at a fund-raiser for Edible Schoolyard NYC. We quickly discovered we were kindred spirits—she later hosted the release party for my book, An Everlasting Meal. We invited guests like musician Chris Thile, whom I know from one of his concerts (he hugged me when I told him I used to cook at Chez Panisse); composer Gabriel Kahane, with whom I've traded cooking and piano lessons; Gramercy Tavern executive chef Michael Anthony, a great mentor of John's; plus a host of family and friends.
To make feeding a crowd easy, John and I plan our menus with two things in mind. First, we rely on strategies professional kitchens use to cook a lot of food easily. Second, we look to the wisdom of rustic Mediterranean cuisines, which are full of meals that are beautiful, filling and woven into everyday life.
We wrote this party's menu as we always do, at Manhattan's Union Square Greenmarket. This is a given for us, and whenever we meet to plan a menu, the location never gets mentioned. "Tomorrow at seven?" We both show up bleary-eyed, me holding a clipboard and Sharpie, John with coffees in hand.
Scanning the stands of produce and meat, I pick up some eggs, nudge John and say, "Bottarga! Toast." To which he adds, "Chives!" In those half-formed sentences, we agree to scramble the eggs softly with herbs and serve them on toasts with bottarga (dried mullet roe). I love using eggs in unexpected ways in a meal, born of my time working at New York's Prune, where eggs show up tossed with pasta on the brunch menu, or as a Parmesan omelet at dinner.
John goes on planning: "I'll make Toscana." He means anchovy-heavy chicken liver pâté, a favorite since his time at St. John in London, where odd cuts are prized.
We are comfortable serving two appetizers on toasts. We intentionally use the same ingredient in more than one way—a break from the restaurant prohibition of redundant menus. We use parsley in four dishes, lemon juice in five and bread in various permutations (fresh and toasted; stale and ground).
This allows us to prepare dinner efficiently. For the toasts, one of us will slice enough bread for both. We do the same with peeling garlic and washing herbs. I learned how helpful collaborating on big projects is early in my time at Chez Panisse: One day, I was behind and sweating with anxiety when the sous-chef, who was picking parsley for another dish, assured me, "I'm picking your parsley, too." (I nearly shook with gratitude.) This simple strategy gives me a bird's-eye view on the meal and helps me keep track of which dishes use each ingredient.
Our greatest requirement, though, is that the food we serve is wonderful when made ahead and in big batches, something common in restaurants and peasant cuisines. Farro, which I serve in a salad with roasted turnips and their greens, can be dressed hours before the party and left to sit—improving as it absorbs olive oil and vinegar, without our doing anything other than drinking cocktails nearby. It's no harder to make a lot of farro than a little, something that's equally true of beans, which I cook until velvety and serve in an herby gratin topped with crisp bread crumbs.
We almost always make a slow-cooked meat as the main course. Bollito misto, the Northern Italian dish of slowly simmered meats, is one of our favorites. It's an example of how tough cuts, cooked at just below a simmer in water and wine, become luxuriously tender and flavorful.
Our repartee in the kitchen is the only holdover from earlier times, the barbs mingling with reassurances: "Adler, taste those beans for salt, then add half as much as you want to." "Adler, how burnt did you want these toasts?" What's understood, though, is, "I trust you to make those beans great," and "Already pulled the toasts from the oven for you." As we take off our aprons, wipe our hands and greet our guests, there is the exchange that once seemed impossible: "Well done, Adler." "Well done, Adler." And cheers.
Brooklyn, New York–based writer Tamar Adler is the author of An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace.


text: I am always finding that on this trip, the things I have really enjoyed have been unexpected. Last night, when driving back from Colonia to Montevideo, we stopped at a gas station. There was one gas station maybe every 20 miles. Enrico, our driver and amigo, pointed at the stars. I had already been looking at them from the van. I'm not sure if I had ever seen stars as bright. It was then he pointed out the Crux, or Southern Cross. It's a constellation that can only be seen in the southern hemisphere. I am the type of person that, when trying to see something that someone is trying to point out to me, my eyes have absolutely no idea where to look. I can never see constellations either. But I looked up and there was this gigantic cross shining over the pitch black countryside. It was great, and although I couldn't take a picture I don't think I'll soon forget it.

John Common and the Blinding Flashes of Light, The Knew at Mile High Music Festival, day two
John Common and the Blinding Flashes of Light
Brian Landis Folkins
John Common and the Blinding Flashes of Light, 1:15 p.m. on the Cougar Stage
John Common and the Blinding Flashes of Light didn't let the early hour or the high temperatures derail their sense of decorum.
The band emerged for their early afternoon set decked in suits and dress wear, a touch that added a degree of formality and theatricality to their set. As far as the music, the group delivered a well-honed performance, one marked by the ensemble's trademark blend of soaring vocals, blues and folk structures and rich contours.
Common's vocal approach and powerful guitar work seems designed to fill an amphitheater, but it works just as well in an outdoor, open-air venue. The frontman's philosophical lyrics and novel chord structures find their real power in the work of the ensemble, a group that features bright Moog work, refined cello and clarinet lines and a compelling female vocal complement in the form of backup singer Jess De Nicola.
Jess De Nicola, singing with John Common and the Blinding Flashes of Light
Brian Landis Folkins
Its the combination of these elements that make songs like "Go to Hell With Me" more than the sum of their parts.
The bluesy, minor-based plaint expands with the addition of a clarinet, bright keyboard lines and forceful drum accompaniment.
Indeed, the sound feels downright epic at times, and the effect makes for a forceful and ambitious start of the Mile High Music Festival's second day.
The Knew, 1:30 p.m., in the Bison Tent
The crowds are still sparse as the Knew takes the stage at the Bison tent. The venue is filled to perhaps a third of its capacity, and more audience members seem more intent on hacky sack matches or beach ball exchanges than the band's driving tenor vocals or its expansive guitar chords.
The Knew in the Bison Tent.
Brian Landis Folkins
Still, the group put up an impressive showing, despite the early hour and the slim turnout. Lead singer and guitarist Jacob Hansen kept up an insistence and immediacy throughout the set, and the rest of the quartet matched his energy.
Even though the performance seemed more like a background soundtrack to the early afternoon activities in the tent, the band kept up a steady and straightforward meld of simply stated guitar chords and reverb-tinged melody lines.
The effect seemed more apt for a small club than an outdoor tent, but the Knew managed to keep up an admirable mix of energy and enthusiasm.

Fractional excretion of urea as a diagnostic index in acute kidney injury in intensive care patients. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22520491 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
PURPOSE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a dynamic process that evolves from an early reversible condition to an established disease. Value of urine indices in the event of AKI is uncertain in critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of fractional excretion of urea (FeU) for differentiating persistent from transient AKI in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. METHODS: This was an observational study. Forty-seven patients with AKI according to the RIFLE classification were included. Transient AKI was defined as AKI resolved within 3 days after inclusion. Persistent AKI was defined as persistent serum creatinine elevation or oliguria. RESULTS: Fractional excretion of urea was lower in case of transient, 33% (25-39), than persistent AKI, 47% (36-61) (P = .001). Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for FeU in case of transient AKI were better than those for other urinary indexes, 0.78 (95% confidence interval, 0.63-0.92). Optimal cutoff point according to the receiver operating characteristic curve was 40%. In patients treated with diuretics, FeU was the only predictive index of transient AKI. Fractional excretion of urea gradually increased from days 1 to 7 in transient AKI, whereas plasma creatinine decreased. CONCLUSIONS: Fractional excretion of urea less than 40% was found to be a sensitive and specific index in differentiating transient from persistent AKI in intensive care unit patients especially if diuretics had been administered. |

Federal Bank of New York Staff Report
Preliminary findings from a new staff report, "Payday Holiday: How Households Fare after Payday Credit Bans," by Federal Reserve Bank of New York Research Officer Donald P. Morgan and Cornell University graduate student Michael R. Strain, conclude that payday loan bans result in increased credit problems for consumers. The report compares households in states with payday loans with households in both Georgia and North Carolina, states which eliminated payday loans in May 2004 and December 2005 respectively. Households in Georgia and North Carolina bounced more checks, complained more to the Federal Trade Commission about lenders and debt collectors, and filed for Chapter 7 ("no asset") bankruptcy at a higher rate. These findings indicate that households without access to payday loans are forced to use costlier credit and suffer greater financial difficulties. Full results of the study (PDF) Review all study highlights (PDF)
Consumers suffer greater credit problems under payday loan bans
"Georgians and North Carolinians do not seem better off since their states outlawed payday credit: they have bounced more checks, complained more about lenders and debt collectors, and have filed for Chapter 7 ("no asset") bankruptcy at a higher rate."
"On average, the Federal Reserve check processing center in Atlanta returned 1.2 million more checks per year after the ban. At $30 per item, depositors paid an extra $36 million per year in bounced check fees after the ban."
"Total complaints against lenders and debt collectors [in North Carolina] rose by over a third relative to other states…"
"[Overall,] Chapter 7 filing rates increased… 8.5 percent [under the ban]."
Payday loan bans force consumers into worse options
"The contraction in payday credit supply caused former borrowers to bounce more checks, thus aggravating their already marginal circumstances. To stave off bankruptcy, distressed borrowers pawned or sold assets. For those who ultimately succumbed to their financial problems, the loss of assets made chapter 7 [bankruptcy] the natural choice."
"[The] slipping down, with less rescheduling of debts, but more "deadbeats" and "no asset" bankruptcies, seems to fit the picture [of] a marginal payday customer pushed over the edge."
"Banning payday loans did not save Georgian households $154 million per year, as CRL projected, it cost them millions per year in returned check fees."
"…we take our results as evidence of a slipping down in the lives of would-be payday borrowers."
Payday loans alleviate financial distress
"Most of our findings contradict the debt trap hypothesis."
"Our findings show that [payday loans] help to avoid more quotidian disasters, like bouncing a mess of checks, or getting hassled at work by debt collectors."

Half asleep, I couldn't tell whether this shouting was happening in the streets below, or next door on the other side of the bedroom wall. It had been loud enough to wake me and was certainly a very vocal debate between a man and a woman.
My reaction was mainly irritation until the man yelled, "I will make sure you burn!".
This phrase was barked out in a style very much befitting a man deranged. More like "I. Will. Make. Sure. You. BURN!", but slightly less staccato.
Anyway, it was mad. And silence reigned afterwards. No more shouting.
I got out of bed, heart rate steadily rising as the writer's mind kicked in...
Suddenly, in my head, the woman was tied to a chair, gagged, eyes wide as the man splashed petrol over her. Or he'd knocked her unconscious and was now spinning dials on the gas cooker, opening the valves, letting the flat next door - because it was now the flat next door, or this wouldn't be a dramatic threat - fill with noxious, flammable fumes. Any minute now, he would leave that flat and hurl a lit Zippo lighter back in through the letterbox. The flat would explode. What would that do to our flat? Would ours explode too? Why the hell didn't we live in a detached house? There'd be none of this bother then.
Last year I read a Stephen King interview in which he said, and I'm paraphrasing, "The writer understands that the worst possible things can happen at any moment". And so it was that I found myself darting out of our bedroom and gazing out through the spyhole at the corridor outside, anxiously looking for signs of smoke.
My girlfriend Esther slept on, oblivious. A small, quietly frantic part of me wondered if I should wake her, just in case we would need to grab some irreplaceable items and get the hell out of there. (What would those items be?) Another part of me remembered that the entire building is now encased with scaffolding, which would allow us an escape route in the event of a blaze, albeit a perilous one for people who are not builders.
I got dressed, carefully unlocked our door and ventured out into the corridor, padding up along it, looking for smoke, my senses keenly alive. I paused outside our neighbours' door and listened.
One sudden sound made me jump, but it seemed to be coming from above.
I crept back inside our home. A mere few seconds later, there was activity in the corridor. Peering out through the spyhole, I saw a young man walk into view and start talking through the letterbox of the flat opposite, who clearly didn't want to let him in. This was a different flat entirely to the direct neighbours' flat, which may or may not now have been a blazing inferno. A hushed conversation ensued, which I couldn't make out. Something about keys and "judgement" about someone "acting like an idiot". Eventually, the man walked back off along the corridor, talking into his mobile.
Was this incident connected to the narrative I'd constructed about the homicidal madman who was about to make sure a woman burned?
Because, as I eventually came to accept, somewhere around dawn, a constructed narrative was what it was.
The yelled argument almost certainly happened in the street outside. The words "I will make sure you burn" were almost certainly never spoken. The hushed conversation through the letterbox was almost certainly either a coincidence or connected to the street-based argument from earlier, as opposed to the imaginary argument next door involving petrol, Zippo lighters and horrendous death.
There was no smoke and therefore no fire.
I sat down to write this post, intending it to make the point that writers will always dream up the worst case scenario, which is both a strength artistically (because it theoretically gives us a neverending stream of material) and a weakness in day-to-day existence (although I'm convinced that one day my overly skittish imagination will save my life).
All of which is true. Only now, though, do I realise that this incident was largely down to John Higgs.
John Higgs, as JMR Higgs, is the author of the fictional The Brandy Of The Damned and the non-fictional I Have America Surrounded: The Life Of Timothy Leary. Both are great and highly recommended.
He has also written a thoroughly unorthodox biography about early '90s dance crew The KLF, entitled KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money (September 2013 update: it's now called The KLF: Chaos, Magic And The Band Who Burned A Million Pounds, released through Phoenix.) I finished reading the manuscript yesterday.
It is a quite brilliant and fascinating book which rather blew my mind, telling the story of The KLF's Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty in a way which, depending on your belief system, suggests they were mere pawns in a game orchestrated by Chaos. Or maybe even by the Devil himself. It's an ingeniously woven narrative which takes in the assassination of JFK, Discordianism, Situationism, 9/11, the Illuminatus! trilogy, Doctor Who, Alan Moore's concept of Ideaspace and all sorts.
The book is also shot through with fire. The KLF, of course, famously burned one million pounds of their own money on the Isle of Jura, up in the Hebrides, back in August 1994. Cauty and Drummond were generally preoccupied with burning things.
Higgs has a gift for crawling under his readers' scalps and messing with their heads. It's no coincidence that, the very night after finishing KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money, I heard the shouted words "I will make sure you burn!".
It is, after all, an odd thing to say, even in the heat of the moment, if you'll pardon the pun.
If I hadn't read KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money - a book all about conscious and unconscious connections; about how we perceive life through certain models and how ideas can powerfully and perhaps magically affect the real world, taking on a life of their own - I would almost certainly have heard something else shouted. Something which was still aggressive, but wouldn't have made me fear for my life and property, anticipating a sudden tumultuous wave of fiery destruction.
John Higgs, The KLF, The Justified Ancients of Mummu, Discordians, the goddess Eris and countless other key players: you all have a great deal to answer for.
The KLF: Chaos, Magic And The Band Who Burned A Million Pounds by JMR Higgs is out in paperback and Kindle now, via Phoenix. Here it is, at Amazon UK and Amazon US.

One of the new additions for the 2012 Congo Square New World Rhythms Festival, coming the weekend of March 24 and 25, is "Class Got Brass?" - a contest for high school and middle school brass bands throughout the state.
Finalists will compete Sunday, March 25 at 3 p.m. by parading past judges Dr. Michael White, Trombone Shorty, Shamarr Allen, Derrick Tabb and others, who'll be situated on the balcony of the Golden Feather restaurant on Rampart Street. Three winners will split $20,000 worth of instruments for their schools.According to the Jazz and Heritage Foundation, the competition was conceived in order to support the New Orleans brass band tradition throughout the state; schools that do not have a brass ensemble are encouraged to form one from the ranks of their larger marching bands.
As of the week of March 5, the Foundation had received 15 inquiries from high school band directors. Schools can still apply, up through Friday, March 17; visit classgotbrass.com for details.
The Class Got Brass? site currently has two videos up from competitors - the West Jeff Buccaneers Brass Band and the Riverdale Middle School's Red Wolf Brass Band.
What do you think? Are they contenders?

That friction between the fans of these two Ohio teams has always existed. My brother and I are perfect examples of it. We were a divided household growing up. I've been a Brown's fan since 1965. My younger brother and I were always very competitive, and I think that's why he gravitated towards the Bengals when they came into the league (1968). He didn't want to be rooting for the same team his older brother did.
And that friction between these two franchises also is rooted in (originated with) Paul Brown whose relationship with the Browns soured once Modell took over, fired Brown, and ended with bitterness/resentment. If anyone ever wants to read a really good book I'd suggest "When All The World Was Browns Town" by Terry Pluto.
I've humorously always referred to that "hatred" between Bengal and Brown fans to that which we see between the Israeli and Arab people who have a shared ancestry (LOL).
But even as a die-hard Brown's fan, I've never hated the Bengals. I've always seen myself as a loyal Ohioan first. And if any Ohio team is in a position to win a title/championship (at any level) I root for them. I don't care who they are.
And to be honest.... as a life-long member of this great state, and when it comes to any major sport .... while we've had our "periods" (moments) of success (BRM, OSU, 2 Bengal SB appearances, Indians resurgence in the 90's) we've had far more disappointments/letdowns then success. But it is what it is.
Since '99 (when the Browns came back into the league) through 2012, the Bengal's win percentage is .426. The Brown's is .327. The Bengals have had 4 winnings seasons, the Browns two. Bengals - four play-off appearances, the Browns one (should have been two, but that's another story).
So as far as level of play, I will most certainly acknowledge that the Bengals have improved since hiring Lewis (2003). And as a Brown's fan I'd most certainly trade places with you as far as improvement/progress goes. And while the level of disappointment with Brown fans is greater, most Bengal fans I know are still very disappointed in their team, and also very skeptical regardless that they have a winning record. At work, every one of them hates Marvin Lewis and tell me - "Yeah, we'll probably win the division. But we'll lose in the first round because Marvin is not the guy to take us to that next level".
But again - I'd trade places with you guys.
I work with a guy who is a die-hard Brown and OSU fan. He's also an A-hole. If you're a "true" fan, you can't say anything bad or criticize your team. He shows no objectivity at all. He hates the Bengals with a passion. He and I don't talk sports any more because I've laid it on the line with him when it comes to our Browns.
He came into work after the last Bengal-Brown game and immediately started railing on Bengals fans "Andy Dalton sucks!" Yeah, Andy had a bad game. But it didn't matter to him that "his" Browns played like crap and lost by 20 points. Nor that we currently don't have a QB PERIOD! I yelled over at him "I'd take Dalton over what we currently have!" ... and steam was coming out of both his ears. LOL
I'll root for the Bengals in the post-season.
Bengal and Brown fans do share a common hatred (bond) - Steelers and Ravens.

I'm with GAC. I am a Bengals' fan first. But if the Browns make the playoffs, I'll jump on that bandwagon.
Heads of state that ride and wrangle. That look at your face from more than one angle. Can cut you from their bloated budgets. Like sharpened knives through Chicken McNuggets.
People should cut Marvin Lewis some slack. I think he's really grown as a coach this year tactically. Beyond just fielding a very solid team, his challenge problems have evaporated and his fourth down decisions have been on point.

I'm sort of in that group as well. I was born in 1963. My dad grew up a Browns fan in Kentucky, but we were living in Germantown, OH after he got out of the military. I have a photo, taken in 1968, of me and my brother, standing by our mailbox on Butter Street in Germantown, with me in full Bengals uniform (including helmet) and my brother in full Browns gear. (To this day, my brother hates the pic, haha)
My dad tried to make it a Browns/Bengals household, but it didn't work. We attended only Bengals games, watched mostly Bengals games on TV, then when we moved to Lexington in the early 70's, it was 100% Bengals coverage by the media there. I've actually sympathized with Browns fans since the Art Modell thing.
I don't root for them, but I would root them all day every day against the Steelers, or even against the Ravens. And if they were in the playoffs and we weren't, I'd hope for a first ever Browns Super Bowl win. I have so much respect for Paul Brown, that connection will always keep me from hating the Browns like I hate the Steelers. The PB connection sort of makes the Bengals and Browns cousins.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
I give the guy credit. Again, as a Brown's fan, we're on our 7th head coach in 14 years. And when one looks at the condition of the Bengals (especially the disastrous 90s) prior to Marvin Lewis, the guy has improved the team and brought some consistency. And that is important. That is something the Browns have not had, not just in all the coaching changes, but also in upper management. You're perpetually in a "rebuilding" stage with these frequent changes/upheavals. Former owner Randy Lerner's passion, who inherited the team upon his Dad's death (2002), is not football but soccer. A lot of Brown fans saw him as a "bystander", with little interest, and who relied on hiring football people to run the show while he got out of the way. He spent money, but wasn't very active/involved.
The Browns have some talent, and, IMO, a good foundation. Especially on defense. We just have to fill some key holes on the offensive side. And I like the coaching staff. It's going to be an interesting off-season for us.
That Richardson trade to Indy seems to have been a good decision. The kid ain't done jack there.
My brother, and the Bengal fans I work with, will readily acknowledge what I said above about Marvin. But my brother, and a buddy, also say he's Dusty Baker - a coach who will never take the team to the next level.
My brother's constant mantra - which he was echoing again yesterday as we watched football on Thanksgiving - is "He's the second longest tenured NFL coach who has never won a play-off game".
And while that is true - and I argue this with him - he's not being totally fair in the sense that under Marvin he has at least gotten your team into the position (post-season) 4 times (probably 5) where they have had the OPPORTUNITY.
OK. They've lost. It hasn't worked out. But again, I'll be more then happy to change places with you. When the Browns start getting into the post-season on a regular basis, and are even losing in the first round, then, maybe, when I'm in that position, I'll possibly feel the same way about whoever our coach is.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
One of the greatest football minds/innovators ever IMO.
Have you ever read that book I mentioned in my previous post? It really goes in-depth into the mindset/character of Paul Brown. Brilliant coach. But he was also an overly obsessive control freak when it came to every aspect of the Browns in the 40's/50s to the degree that ownership was even intimidated (scared) to cross the guy. And his players (especially Jim Brown), though they respected him, didn't care much for him for some of his excessive rules/control.
According to the book, when Modell, a NY advertising/public relations executive, took over the Browns he wanted Brown to run the football aspect of the team, which Modell knew nothing about, while he would do the advertising/promotion aspect. And that's where the power struggle began, and the rest is history.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Mike Williams was almost 10 years ago, and missing a year of football was likely a big issue in his NFL career. Steve Smith had a very good career cut short by injuries. None of those other guys were expected to be great players. They were disappointing, but not 1st round picks
Who know is Lee is the right pick, but I wouldn't discount him based on what players from 5 years ago at USC have done

I understand you completely.
Back in the day I used to play COD4 (best Call Of Duty out there) so much on the PC. I had unlocked every single weapon, attachment and camo. But the thing that kept me playing was the huge amount of challenges that game had, and the fact that it was such a good game.

Ke$ha would consider sleeping with Justin Bieber.
Rumours surfaced earlier this year that the 18-year-old heartthrob had cheated on Selena Gomez with the quirky singer.
Ke$ha, 25, denied the allegations but now says she wouldn't be completely opposed to romancing the singer.
'[Would I consider sleeping with him now?] Sure. Wait, is he even legal? Could I go to jail for this?' she joked to Rolling Stone magazine. '[He's 18?] OK, then I would. We could go out and buy lottery tickets, vote, play putt-putt golf. All the things that are legal at the age of 18.'
Ke$ha is known for her rock and roll mentality and her eccentric sense of personal style.
Despite having dabbled with illegal substances in the past, the singer doesn't like the effect they have on her.
'I do smoke [marijuana],' she admitted.
'But I get super weird, so it's not something I do all the time. Sometimes I go into the basement and body-paint, and sometimes I get weirdo-paranoid and hide under the covers. It's just a bad scene.'
It's possible Ke$ha could have a shot at love with Justin, as it has been reported that his romance with Selena has hit a rocky patch.
The pair are rumoured to have split following Justin's flirtations with models at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but have since been seen together.

Smithfield, NY – A man who suffered head trauma Monday when he was knocked to the ground by a truck door in his driveway has died, state police said.
Richard McNamara, 68, of 4365 Pleasant Valley Road, Smithfield, died about 9:20 p.m. Monday at Upstate University Hospital, where he had been airlifted by helicopter in critical condition, Trooper Terry Duerr said.
According to Duerr, McNamara was talking with a longtime friend, Laverne Jones, 80, of Smithfield, who was sitting in his Ford F250 truck with the driver's door open. Shortly before noon, Jones put the truck in reverse to back out of the driveway and the door hit McNamara. McNamara fell and hit his head on a patch of ice.
The accident remains under investigation but it appears unlikely that Jones will be charged, Duerr said. An autopsy is to be performed by the Onondaga County Medical Examiner's office, he said.

The Mt. San Antonio College Interpreter Training Program is designed to prepare individuals for careers as Sign Language Interpreters. Interpreters are needed wherever communication happens between the hearing community and the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. There are an endless number of settings in which this communication takes place. Interpreters are employed by school districts, cruise ship companies, corporations, government agencies, hospitals, colleges and universities, and a vast number of other organizations and private businesses.
Preparation for the program includes fluency in American Sign Language demonstrated by the completion of SIGN 104,American Sign Language 4, (or the equivalent skill) and English fluency demonstrated by the completion of ENGL 1A.
National Certification: There are many specialties within the field of Sign Language Interpreting,but the focus of this program is on preparing the interpreter generalist. Although requiring some type of certification is becoming more common in California,there are still many job opportunities for the precertified interpreter.
Completing the certificate in Sign Language/Interpreting does not make one a "Certified Interpreter;" however, graduates of this program are encouraged to apply for National Interpreting Certification (NIC) through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) at www.rid.org.

Fernandabulous March 20, 2013 12:48 PM in a way I'm hoping for a dry race weekend for Sergio, it will give McLaren less opertunity to put him on the wrong tyres during qualifying, and give a better opportunity to see how close he can get to JB, he finished in a group less than two seconds behind Button in Oz and posted the better race lap time of the two.

107SS2009 March 20, 2013 5:58 PM "The team will be working incredibly hard to bring performance to the car, that may not happen in Malaysia as it's so soon after Australia".So I ask, what is he basing his "hope to surprise on?. Perez should stop blabbing idle nonsense he will be better off saying something of substance, and even better off saying nothing considering the team situation being what it is.

Electrokinetic control of a chemical reaction in a lab-on-a-chip micro-reactor: measurement and quantitative modelling
Fletcher, Paul D.I., Haswell, Stephen J. and Zhang, Xunli (2002) Electrokinetic control of a chemical reaction in a lab-on-a-chip micro-reactor: measurement and quantitative modelling. Lab on a Chip, 2, 102-112. (doi:10.1039/b201685k).
Full text not available from this repository.
We have investigated the complex formation/dissociation reaction between Ni2+ ions and the ligand pyridine-2-azo-p-dimethylaniline (PADA) in a glass micro-reactor operating under electrokinetic control. An in situ, microscope-imaging technique was used to determine the spatial and temporal evolution of the reaction within the channel network of the micro-reactor. Using appropriately controlled voltage sequences, a slug of PADA was injected into a stream of Ni2+ solution. Under the experimental reaction conditions used, Ni2+ ions are mixed with the PADA as a consequence of the species different electrokinetic mobilities allowing the complex formation to occur at the trailing edge of the PADA slug. Following complex formation, reversal of the flow results in the partial re-formation of free PADA by dissociation of the complex, demonstrating that voltage control can be used to drive the reaction either forwards or backwards. We discuss the methods whereby all the parameters required to predict the spatial and temporal evolution of the reaction in the micro-reactor can be either measured or estimated. Based on the estimated parameters, model calculations of the concentration profiles as a function of time show good agreement with the measured data

Damghan (Persian: دامغان, also Romanized as Dāmghān)[1] is a city in, and capital of, Damghan County, Semnan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 57,331, in 15,849 families.[2]
Damghan is situated 342 kilometres (213 mi) east of Tehran on the high-road to Mashad, at an elevation of 1,250 m (4,101 ft). The city trades in pistachios and paper almonds (kaghazi), with very thin shells, which are famous throughout the country.[citation needed]
Damghan was an important city in the Middle Ages, and was the capital of the province of Qumis (Qoomes), but was destroyed by the Afghans in 1723. Few remnants of that time remain; one is the ruined Tari-khaneh mosque with a number of massive columns and wood carvings and two minarets of the 11th century. The remains of Hecatompylos lie to the southwest of the city, extending from Forat, 26 kilometres (16 mi) south of Damghan, to nearly 32 kilometres (20 mi) west. On an eminence in the western part of the city are the ruins of a large square citadel with a small white-washed building, called Molud Khaneh (the house of birth), in which Fath Ali Shah was born (1772).[3] The Tari-khaneh (c. 9th century), possibly the oldest known mosque in Iran, still stands in the city.
To the southeast of the city there is ruin of a castle from the Sassanids now called Tappeh Hessar, which is thought to be a garrison. After excavation in 1996, archeologists announced that the area ruins indicated three layers from three different eras. The oldest one dates back to 4000 BCE when the Aryans settled in the Iranian plateau.
Despite 7,000 years history, Damghan has been forgotten beneath desert sand dunes, It is one of the most ancient urban metropolis in the Iranian plateau, with many historical monuments including Tappeh Hessar which belongs to the Median (728-550 BCE), Parthians (248-224 CE) and Sassanid (224-651 CE) dynastic periods — the Tarikhaneh was built as a fire temple during the Sassanid dynasty and converted into a mosque after the advent of Islam - and many other historical buildings belonging to Seljuks and other periods.
The name Damghan comes from "Deh" and "Moghan". "Deh" means village and "Moghan" means Magi. This name was given by Zoroastrians who included such people as King Cyrus and Darius of ancient Persia. http://www.damghannews.com. Historiographers ascribe the construction of Damghan to Hooshang, Keyumars' great grandson and the founder of the legendary Pishdadi dynasty. The historical town has inherited various names such as Qoomes. Qoomes or Qumis was a province stretching from Sabzevar to Garmsar, from north up to Alborz Mountain Range and to the Lut Desert in the south. Up to the 1st century AD, Damghan was the capital of that great province.
During Alexander of Macedon's invasion into Iran, the Greeks called it Hecatompylos ("hundred gates"). The Greeks called every big and important city Hecatompylos and they have recorded a similar big and bustling Egyptian city with that appellation.
Of historical treasures in Damghan one must refer to the valuable Tappeh Hessar which was constructed before the birth of Christ. Professor Hertzfeld (1931-1933) and Dr. Schmidt (1933-1938) were the first archaeologists who explored the Tappeh.
Tappeh Hessar with several layers of civilizations is hiding a long history in its bosom. Part of the layers in the Tappeh belong to the Mades dynasty which shared its civilization with Mesopotamia. Another layer covers the Achamenid, Parthian and Seleucid periods. Tappeh Hessar achieved its peak of glory during the Seleucid and Parthian periods. During the reign of Arsaces II, Damghan was the capital of the Parthian Empire in Iran. With the discovery of relics from that period one comes across another layer which is ascribed to the Sassanians. Historical excavations has shown that the history of Damghan starts 4 ~ 5 thousand years BCE. For example Carbon 16 isotope inspections in Tappeh Hessar have revealed items belonging to 7,000 years ago. Recently expansion of Tehran-Mashhad railway into double lanes the body of a woman along with her fetus was discovered with over 7,000 years age.
Scientists have discovered metal in her teeth which leads us to believe that she was the goddess Tootam. Tootam worship was a religion which prevailed among the Iranians, Egyptians and Indians many thousand years ago.
Damghan was half destroyed in the 856 Damghan earthquake.
Tarikhaneh, the oldest mosque in Iran[edit]
Tarikhaneh Mosque is in fact the oldest mosque in Iran belonging to the 1st century after arrival of Islam which still preserves its original shape. Tarikhaneh and Na'in Mosque in Na'in are the only mosques in the Islamic World which resemble the Medina Mosque. This mosque was built during the 8th century AD by imitating Roman, Iranian and Arabic architecture. This is an Arabic design but the building material and architecture is Sassanid. This leads us to believe that originally it had been a fire temple during the Sassanid period, and later the mosque was built over its ruins. One column resembling Sassanian architecture at the eastern wing is a proof of this assertion.
Tarikhaneh Mosque is equipped with a square yard and a gallery with 18 columns facing the Qiblah and the three sides of the yard are surrounded by porticos. The minaret rising over the mosque is said to belong to Seljuks and the tiled inscription over the minaret is in fact the oldest tile work in Islamic architecture.
The prefix "Tari", a Turkish or Mongol term, means God and "khaneh" is Iranian word for house so the word means the house of God.
City fortification a Sassanid architecture[edit]
Walls or fortifications and battlements have survived in many parts in Damghan. As mentioned in the history the wall was very wide and enabled chariots to drive over it. The remains of that wall can be seen north and south of Damghan.
Seljuk architecture[edit]
Much treasure has survived from the Seljuk period in Damghan. Peer-e Alamdar's Shrine (The Old Flagbearer's Tomb), Congregation Mosque or Masjed Jame', the minaret of Congregation Mosque, Tarikhaneh Mosque, Mansourkuh, Imamzadeh Jafar Tower and Chehel Dokhtaran Vault, etc. are buildings in which Islamic architecture from Seljuk period onward is notable. For the first time in Iran these buildings carry brick decorations to compensate for the monotonous and uniform rows.
Chehel Dokhtaran a family vault[edit]
Chehel Dokhtaran Vault is located at the center of Damghan and behind Imamzade Jafar, both of which belong to Seljuk period. A Kufi inscription in the edifice says the vault was built in 466 AH (1087 AD) and has survived without cracks although the city is lying on the earthquake belt.
What is more interesting in the vault is its onion-like dome which is adorned by bricks with artistic images and an inscription. The building which used to be a family vault is 14.8 m high and in its famous inscription the deceased have sought divine mercy in their lasting residence.
Hashshashin Forts[edit]
North of the city, along the Cheshme Ali and Mazandaran road, there are two forts built on the top of two mountains.
The first one is 5 km far from the city, on the peak of Gerdkuh, one of the main Ismaili's Hashshashin fortress which used by Hassan Sabah. It was conquered by Hulagu Khan finally. Due to circular shape of mountain peak, it was named Gerdkuh, Gerd for circular (round) and Kuh for mountain. This shape made it very difficult to access by invaders.
Another one is Mehrnegar Fort on Mansourkuh, 22 km north of city, along the roud. The mountain is Pyramid like and the fort located on its top. This was one of the fortifications of dreaded Ismaili esoteric sect during Seljuk invasion and has been named Mehrnegar because of Princess Mehrnegar's love story.
Evergreen Cheshmeh-Ali [1], This is one of the permanent springs in Damghan, 30 km north of the city. Thanks to its verdant foliage and pleasant climate this region has been frequented by people from ancient times. During the Qajar period many buildings were constructed in Cheshmeh Ali among which the Fat'hali Shah and Agha Mohammad Khan palaces still stand erect. Fat'hali Shah's palace is built in the middle of a lagoon placed between the first and second spring and Aqa Mohammad-Khan's palace is facing opposite the former palace. Cheshmeh-Ali has always interested the visiting tourists.
Beside those mentioned above one might refer to the Gonbade Zangol, Toghrol's Tower, Qoosheh Amirabad Caravansary (A Shah Abbas, The Great era building), historical hills and hazel-shaped castles around the city as well as Gerdkuh and Masoumzadeh Mehmandoust fortifications. Damghan's bazaar contains tombs, old schools, baths and the like. Out of historical monuments in Damghan which has always interested foreign archaeologists many relics have been unearthed which are deposited in the British and French museums and display ancient Iranian civilization.
Damghan shines like a bezel in the desert region. With its ample cultural heritages and authentic background Damghan's ancient civilization is undeniable and each relic in the city can substantiate its genuine past. By rubbing the dust of forgetfulness off this shining bezel we can display Damghan's ancient shining face to the world and introduce it as an important tourism and sightseeing place in Iran.

Your sacrifice will NEVER be forgotten. Thinking of your family today and praying for God to send them strength.
Laura Gibson-Szerokman, Surviving Spouse
of Ofc. Allen W. Gibson, Jr. EOW: 04/25/98
April 22, 2014
Kenny you are the wind beneath my wings.
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind
So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings, Love you
April 23, 2013
Hey bruddah,
Last night you popped into my head and I could run from it. This thing hurts bad. You can see my kids and family, but we can feel, see nor entertain your physical presences. God knows what He's doing. It was your time, I don't like it. Though I will "Cowboy up" and "Keep it movin'", which are the words you said to me in 2007 the night of your moms anniversary party in your van. Brudday I love you and miss you so much. I wish you still had time left... Love you bruddah!!!!

Just in case I don't make it home tonight
Let me make love to you for the last time, baby
Wanna cherish each moment like the last
'Cause baby you're all that I have, so just in case
Haven't I made you feel so special?
As your man I've held your hand, never letting go
Let you hold the keys to the Lex, huh to drive
Gave you all you need and more as long as I'm alive
Even from the heavens up above, I'll shine out our love
Too much is never enough, ooh,. you're all I want
Even when I'm gone, your love will carry on
It's just that strong, so just in case

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
Oh since I lost my baby
The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore
And with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby

No Woman No Cry lyrics
'Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lostalong the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone...
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
So, no woman, no cry
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry
No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah

I thought of you today, remembering all the fun we used to have during the hot summer nights in the 80's. We used to sit and chat, play cards, laugh and joke around all the time. You had one of the most brightest smiles that was so illuminating, it could brighten anyone day. Just want you to know that you will forever have a place in my heart. I love you soo much, we were family always and forever. You are greatly missed.

Kenny we salute you remembering the day you left
The power of Love
Kenny we have embraced new dawns without your wonderful presence. Our ears ache to hear the sound of your voice that was once full of laughter and wisdom, now forever silent. The pain that we feel is relentless and the depth of this pain travels deep.
Tears continuously flow, loosing you was horrific and everyday without you is a struggle, babe we miss you so much.
We reflect on a past that's filled with precious memories' forever captured in our hearts.
On the day you left you took a piece of our hearts with you, things will never be the same you were a vital part of our lives. If only we could turn back the hands of time, life with you was a wonderful ride, thank you for everything.
The greatest gift that God gave unto man was love and the love we shared was powerful, the perimeter of death is unable to defeat that magnificent power.
Loving you was the greatest; and that love has taught us how to live with a broken hearts.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow always forever we'll love you Kenny Michael Duncan
Painfully, Your family.
Heartfelt thank you to the many, many well wishers that have sent up prayers of comfort on our behalf, may the heavens in return bestow abundant blessings upon you all.

Rest in peace Officer Duncan. May the blessings of the Lord be upon your soul and that God continue to watch over and strengthen your family. Two years ago "NY's Boldest" and the City of New York lost one of its finest. You will be missed.
